Yep fully forged and turbo, capable of a lot more but not wanting to break the gearbox ☹

Great thread, for me it's 350bhp stripped out and large soft tyres. Quite a handful but great fun.

All are experts with the 86, you can talk to them all and go with your own vibe.

My car is now just a toy as I don't race it any more, the battery is never charged and now time for a new one. Going to get an 80 amp and trickle charger as it is in the garage so solar probably not an option.

You'll do well at under 15k with a sorted car, I added up all my mods and it's scary. That's without the forged engine

Really lost for words, we had many a chat about racing together in various series. Were going to book a track to shakedown his car, I hope it can at least get finished as I'm sure he would want this. RIP mate and you'll never be forgotten.

Welcome to the club, and enjoy the 86

I want to do as many as I can, just hope there are not too many clashes with Sprint dates.

That is what I did with no problems at all, I just put some gaffer tape on the back of number plate so as not to rub the paint on my bumper.

Good review I look forward to part 2, as I already run two vehicles one of which has space and comfort I can't justify the price of a Supra. But can see the appeal of a daily, I'm sure we will get some more opinions from new owners.

I ran 2 years with the NA kit, and into my first year of FI. I can't fault either

No you will need the adjustable arm, it is the best way to do it.

Does the boot have OEM spoiler holes.

Hello and welcome, not far from you in Hook. OH has an 86 and I race my turbo 86, any questions just fire away. Great club here with a good FB group as well.

Have renewed with Greenlight, was happy with the cost even with all the mods and turbo declared.

I remember when the Evo was introduced with Brembo as OEM, all that followed was warped discs.

I used the NS2r in Time Attack street class, not so great on the 86. Would say a PS4 would be quicker especially in the wet.

Loving the grip from these but no progression, all or nothing 😂 Found the PS4 great when new but soon go off.

Street tyres are so much different, I am now in the realms of very high grip and wide tyres and even choosing compounds. When I drive my OH's 86 that is NA, the PS4 seem pretty good all round but would suffer on a dry track day.

Hi Burtie178 Back when I did sprints and trackdays while NA, the front discs were fine provided you keep the stints down to 15 to 20mins. Cooling down period in the paddock is also pretty good for the brakes and tyres. I did change the discs to DBA and various pad combinations, this provided a little better performance but lost some feel over the OEM set up. I also ran Conti's early on and found they are a good tyre and offer a little more forward grip but not as much lateral, the PS4 is a better all round tyre I found and maybe worth changing to when replacement arrives. Have fun and enjoy your car, always advice available on here.

Turbo is the next awesome step

Should be able to make the next one

Well I missed this developing debate lol, there will always be a huge range of drivers and skill sets, not to mention the use they are subjected to. Driving style plays a big part in this as well, on a personal note after going FI the OEM set up just doesn't cut it for both sprints or track days. If you can prevent or disperse heat using a BBK then it is the way forward, not many will be concerned or going quick enough to worry about bias. When NA and with a mix of sprinting and track days I tried various combinations of OEM size discs and varying pads, quite simply a reputable BBK at that point would have been an advantage. Given there are so many different routes to take, this thread will probably not help anybody.

Same here replacement 65ah has lasted 18 months ( but not a daily ) so just put another one in. Weak link for sure.

Mine is up this month and am currently with Greenlight, have gone Turbocharged since the last renewal so should be interesting. Will be getting a few quotes I think.
